Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

y+2x=x2y

Solution :

The correct option is:
y+2x=x2y

Let us establish the relationship between x and y step-by-step.

We are given:
x=sinA+cosA

Squaring both sides of this equation:
x2=sinA+cosA2
x2=sin2A+cos2A+2sinAcosA

Using the standard trigonometric identity sin2A+cos2A=1, we can rewrite this as:
x2=1+2sinAcosA

Rearranging the equation to solve for the product term:
2sinAcosA=x2-1
sinAcosA=x2-12 --- (Equation 1)

Next, we are given:
y=secA+cosecA

Expressing secant and cosecant in terms of sine and cosine:
y=1cosA+1sinA

Taking a common denominator:
y=sinA+cosAsinAcosA

Substitute x=sinA+cosA in the numerator:
y=xsinAcosA

Now, substitute the value of sinAcosA from Equation 1:
y=xx2-12
y=2xx2-1

Cross-multiplying to simplify:
yx2-1=2x
x2y-y=2x

Rearranging the terms:
x2y=y+2x

Thus, the relationship is indeed:
y+2x=x2y
